Sierra National Forest
The Forest Service follows NEPA regulations issued by the U.S. Department of Agriculture. Under this rule, Forest Service officials determine which proposed projects are shared for public input.
The agency no longer issues a schedule of proposed actions (SOPA) report. Below is the current list of proposed projects available for review—your opportunity to learn more, share feedback, and stay engaged in decisions that shape the future of our public lands.
The project will develop needed social, economic and natural resource impacts and information to determine the purpose and need for the popular user defined "007" route to establish it's designation as a trail.
Meadow restoration, reconnecting stream with meadow floodplain using bioengineering techniques to place instream structures built from natural materials harvested onsite
Decommission (remove) existing toilets, install new accessible toilet. Granite Creek Campground will remove one 'single' toilet and replace with one 'single' toilet. Nelder Grove Campground will remove two 'double' toilets and replace with one 'do
This project involves a FRTA Easement Permit & allows private landowners to rehabilitate & maintain a FS road & construct a very short section of new road on FS land, allowing controlled access on sum of the two short sections to access their lands.
This is a project consists of hazard tree removal along sections of forest roads: 4S81, 4S81M, 6S66X, 6S539, and 7S35. This road system is the Scenic Byway and roads lead to recreation areas such as trail heads and campgrounds.
Evaluate the effect of the implementation of the Southern California Edison Company's (SCE's) Ely, Balsam, and Bolsillo Creek Diversions Infrastructure Improvement Project on federally listed threatened, endangered, candidate, and proposed species.
We had proposed to use prescribed fire (underburning and pile burning), up to 10,000 acres per year, to address fuel conditions throughout the Sierra National Forest.
This Project is designed to be an accelerated post-fire management response within those high and moderate burn severity footprints that includes hazard abatement, fuels and biomass removal, and restoration.
Fuel reduction, forest restoration, increase forest resilience and resistance to drought and inserts, and reduce likelihood of uncharacteristic severe wildfire.
This is a project entailing hazard tree along the listed roads including sections of forest roads: 4S43, 4S60, 4S60A, 4S61, 4S81, 4S81B, 5S30, 5S33, 5S47, 5S47A, 5S53Y, 5S065, 5S84, and 5S84A.
The purpose of this project is to minimize the risk of uncontrolled fire on the landscape and improve tree vigor and health in the Huntington Basin while maintaining a visually appealing and undeveloped appearing landscape.
Issue an Easement for approximately 10.4 miles of the Exchecker-Yosemite 70Kv Transmission Line located on the Sierra and Stanislaus National Forests, and the Indian Flat Substation located in the Merced River Canyon in Mariposa County, California.
help the project area to be more resilient to future drought, restore and preserve wildlife habitat to persist and to reduce the likelihood of uncharacteristic wildfire with all the associated damage that causes to resources
help these project areas to be more resilient to drought, restore and preserve wildlife habitat to persist and to reduce the likelihood of uncharacteristic wildfire
This proposal would allow or the construction, operation, and maintenance of buried fiber optic infrastructure along Highway 140 within Mariposa County.
Installation of two 25 - 30 feet tall poles to support solar powered weather stations on Musick Mountain and Mammoth Pool to allow PGE to monitor weather conditions to manage their facilities to prevent fire.
The project consists of replacing a bridge with a precast concrete slab and other associated parts. The bridge approach will be graded and the prior bridged demolished.
Install approximately 7424'of buried telephone cable inside a conduit to serve the San Joaquin Experimental Range. Related facilities would include pedestals and above ground warning markers.
Removal of roadside hazard trees, recover the economic value of fire-killed/
fire-damaged trees (collectively hereafter, fire-affected), and re-establish forested conditions.
Sierra National Forest (SNF) is proposing to construct a single vault toilet that will accompany an existing Off-Highway Vehicle (OHV) Staging Area that serves the Red Mountain OHV trail system on the High Sierra Ranger District (HSRD).
SCE has chosen a 1 mile corridor as a test area to explore a long-term approach to vegetation management within their authorized transmission corridor. Methods include both mechanical and chemical. Their goal is to avoid interruptions and wildfire.
The proposal includes mining gold bearing gravels along 1500 feet of channel, setting up a camp and storage area, diversion of water around the mining operation, constructing a sediment pond and small earthen dam to pond water and reclamation.
Reissue a Special Use Permit for a residential water supply line (12" or less pipeline), forless than 1 mile across Natioanl Forest System lands on the Bass Lake Ranger District of the Sierra National Forest
